Surventis, formerly BASF Coatings, has entered into a strategic development and collaboration agreement with AUMOVIO to advance microstructured optical films for automotive applications distributed under its Chemetall brand. The partnership supports the development of innovative solutions for displays and head-up displays to be supplied to customers worldwide.
Electrification and autonomous mobility are increasing the importance of advanced displays as key user interface in vehicles, driving demand for high-performance and cost-efficient optical components.
To address this need, AUMOVIO and Surventis have established a strategic collaboration enabling next-generation automotive UX systems through the integration of advanced optical films.
Surventis brings unique expertise in the design and manufacturing of microstructured optical films, combining deep material science and optical know-how with state-of-the-art nanoimprint technology. Through scalable roll-to-roll nanoimprinting, sophisticated optical micro- and nanostructures can be replicated with precision over large areas, enabling next-generation optical films that enhance performance, functionality and design freedom in future UX systems.
AUMOVIO’s expertise in developing advanced automotive displays and head-up display solutions, combined with its deep system integration capabilities, enables the seamless integration of Surventis’ technologies into vehicle interiors that meet automotive standards and OEM requirements. Together, the companies have defined concrete development steps and initial industrialisation milestones to guide implementation.
Optical films offer a forward-looking alternative to conventional optical components. They can enhance light distribution, improve readability and enable new functionalities in displays and projection systems while supporting scalable and cost-efficient manufacturing. For automotive OEMs, this provides greater flexibility in designing user interfaces and enhancing visual system performance.
